Oh man, this is my jam right here:
I very much like your taste π€€π
Haha that seems to be a very common thread with How I Met Your Mother fans. I cannot stand the ending it just makes me so mad. I have the dvd release though so it has the alternate ending
Honest to god had no idea there was an alternate ending... how is it?
Parks and recreation is my main one, or stargate for when im feeling nerdier
I absolutely love parks and rec. I have it on as background noise all the time. Don't forget to treat yo self!
Parks and recreation
Star Trek TNG and DS9. Brings back a lot of fond feelings and is my TV hug.
TNG is my go to show when I'm sick. So soothing!
Ted Lasso and Supernatural
Movies: the entire LoTR trilogy, followed by The Hobbit trilogy because at that point I'm committed to the theme and I manage to still find it entertaining
Shows: the Office
Avatar: Last Air Bender
When I'm feeling sick, nothing makes me feel better than watching Arthur. Yes the Aardvark.
Whose line is it anyway, Friends, Ouran High School Host Club
Shows: Arrested Development, Home Improvement, Seinfeld
Movies: Mrs. Doubtfire, Wayne's World, Clueless
Robinhood: Men in Tights! Any time I'm sick with a cold or flu I go and get some food and chill out in front of the TV to watch it. No matter how bad I'm feeling it always makes me laugh.
Gilmore Girls or Taskmaster in terms of TV shows, but Buffy, Stargate SG-1 and QI are in the mix as well.
Filmwise I would say Clueless.
Bobs Burgers, The Great North, Arrested Developmentβ¦.huh do I just like various types of weird families?
Always Firefly
Yep. Frasier and Seinfeld. Two greats but very different shows
Oh! and How I Met Your Mother. I love that show. I don't ever watch s9 though. It made me so made when it aired
Bob's Burgers, Star Trek TNG and DS9, MST3K, The Great North. Studio Ghibli stuff. King of the Hill. Probably more.
So many people saying TNG haha. Is that show really that universally appealing or are y'all just my age?
There's not really many - if any (I can't think of any off hand) - shows like it. It's got a bit of adventure and/or intrigue, but also drama, decent acting (most of the time), and most importantly a hopeful, non-violent message. Not even the newer ST shows (or the horrible JJ Abrams movies) can make that final boast. It's definitely in my top three go-to shows.
Closest thing for me is probably Clannad
MASH and Star Trek
My wife watches New Girl, the Office, and Scrubs basically on constant repeat.
Apparently, going back to a "comfort show" is a sign that you might have anxiety
Archer
Letterkenny
Shoresy
I like having background noise, and find that I focus better when something is running that I can follow without paying full attention to it. Iβve seen these 3 all the way through over 20 times, at least so theyβre useful for that. I also just plain love the showsβ¦ Shoresy S2 canβt land soon enough.
I know this will sound strange, but Battlebots got me through some dark moments during the pandemic. Something about watching robots rip each other to shreds really takes me away from my problems.
That sounds decidedly not strange. Battlebots is awesome.
Red Green. Supernatural. SG1. And forgive me, but for those particularly shitty days, Beavis and Butthead.
How does red green hold up? I swear I haven't thought about that show in 20 years
Psych and early seasons of Castle
Elementary - modern take on Sherlock Holmes with Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu as Holmes and Watson.
Ted Lasso
Parks and Rec
Brooklyn 99
New Girl
Oh i have a really good one, and if you have watched it, definetly tell me because i cant find any discussion about it online. Its called Wood Job, It takes place in a fictional remote forested village and its woodworking industry. its a wholesome story really wholesome and rewatch it yearly.
21 and/or 22 Jump Street always make me smile
New Girl Parks and Rec
They're just both so upbeat and light. Although during lockdowns seeing happy people having close relationships with friends just made me more sad! Still, it was probably good to have those feelings bubble up so I couldn't keep ignoring them.
Airplane! and/or Monty Python and the Holy Grail for movies.
For TV, I will watch Futurama, KotH, early episodes of the Simpsons and early eps of Family Guy. Not too much else comes to mind
My neighbour totoro. It's my go to when I'm really down
Tng and documentaries.
I know everyone likes to shit on it, but Friends.
Usually child friendly stuff like Molang, Karate Sheep, Classic Tom and Jerry.
Other stuff like The Dark Knight Trilogy, V for Vendetta, Death Note, Agatha Christie's Poirot, Doctor Who (mainly 10th doctor)
